The balloon could have easily picked up the organisms on the way up to space or on the way down. There is a lot of life in the air.

Did you read the article? Do you really think they don't know that and didn't design the experiment to prevent the obvious that you pointed out?

"Accept now that all you have seen from the day of your birth on the surface of the earth, to the present, are wonderful only because the finite mind of man is confused with fragments of evidence, that, from whatever direction we meet them, spring from an unreachable infinity."

"She couldn't wipe the server and she can't wipe her ass...she's a low energy candidate..."

OP, not to rain on your parade, but Dr. Wickramasinghe has been talking about this for decades. I recall the first survey was done in the 90s. I have had the honor of exchanging e-mails with him, and have read most of his very well written articles. He has been published in Nature many times. Still, you will find the so called Shill posters in GLP think "Dr. Wick" is a crank, from what I disgress strongly. He also is under strong criticism because of his ascertainment of having found microfossils, and even recovered live ones, in a recently recovered meteorite (Jan 2012). The microfossils are conspicuous diatoms. It's a fascinating topic, and one that will keep facing strong criticism, to no avail, as it provides proof that life is the constant in the universe, and not the exception.

All great truths begin as Blasphemies. G.B.S.

GLP is like a diamond mine of information, in the sense that you have to shovel mountains of crap to find the diamonds, but it's still worth the pain.

Re: Brit scientists send balloon into the stratosphere and it comes back carrying alien life forms.

Cosmic panspermia irrefutable evidence.

Quoting: Ford Prefect

Um...not 'irrefutable evidence'. There's a claim.

The only 'irrefutable evidence' would be a thorough genetic examination.

For one thing, it's pretty suspect for a 'scientist' to say 'we found microbes on our slide....they can ONLY HAVE COME FROM SPACE!'. Especially when it is absolutely plausible that volcanic eruptions deposit microbes in the stratosphere. Or that his method of having the slide only gather material once in the stratosphere wasn't foolproof.

I am personally interested in the theory of panspermia but this scientist clearly has a dog in the race as he's spent his career trying to prove it.

Now he says 'hey, we sent a balloon up with a slide and it came back with microbes on it, they can ONLY HAVE COME FROM SPACE!!! just trust me ok?'

Conspiracy theorists always seem to lose all their skepticism and clarity of thought when they are told what they want to hear...

Re: Brit scientists send balloon into the stratosphere and it comes back carrying alien life forms.

this does not prove alien life at all. I don't know why the experimenter makes such a bold statement, probably to get the press.

He sent the balloon 27km up. This is still in the earth's atmosphere. The furthest layers of earth's atmosphere extend to atleast 600km, though doubtless life could exist there as we know it.

Take this short description of the stratosphere...

"Within this layer, temperature increases as altitude increases (see temperature inversion); the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (&#8722;3°C or 29.6°F), just slightly below the freezing point of water.[2] The stratosphere is layered in temperature because ozone (O3) here absorbs high energy UVB and UVC energy waves from the Sun and is broken down into atomic oxygen (O) and diatomic oxygen (O2). "

According to this the stratosphere is much warmer then the layers of atmosphere immediately below it.

i have no doubt it's possible that experiment opened at 27km up and life ended up on those microscopic slides. But to conclude from that, that it's automatically from space.. as opposed to something that literally lives in the stratosphere is a hell of a leap.

Lately we have been finding life in places we never expected on earth, in volcanic vents, 10s of kms into solid rock, in glaciers, in salt beds.

27km up is not space... it ain't even close to space, but the idea that life also thrives in our stratosphere is thrilling. What a beautiful planet we live on.

you had me until "firmament"...

as to the original post. this just proves that live is literally everywhere on this planet.

Causes me to wonder if life can be sustained in space. Not another planet, but just space. We know know the depths of the ocean and now the upper atmosphere can support it...

I concur. The canopy is returning. The bible is folded in two and ends much as it began. It will be wonderful....if you're ready.
